WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military has struck another Houthi-controlled site in Yemen that it had determined was putting commercial vessels in the Red Sea at risk. That’s according to a statement released by U.S. Central Command. The first day of strikes on Friday hit 28 locations and struck more than 60 targets, and President Joe Biden had warned that the Houthis could face further strikes. U.S. Central Command says the “follow-on action” early Saturday local time against a Houthi radar site was conducted by the Navy destroyer USS Carney using Tomahawk land attack missiles. Associated Press journalists in Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, heard one loud explosion.
